** Unable to harness a statistical number, due to roleplaying blocks




This is just a small sampling I took between the hours of 4pm-5pm EST today, logging into each of these games to find the sample of logged-in players. Where possible as an option, I checked to make sure the current number of logged on players did not stray more than 30% from the Max Number of the Last 24hrs.

I will return later tonight and do some basic stat analysis and maybe draw some graphs to see if there's anything interesting we can get from this information, but I'm sure if you take a look for yourself, you can see that there is. I will note that many of these MUDs had message-reminders ingame for players to vote, and all had a special place on their website for players to vote. I have also noticed a trend while watching the votes change in the past day or two - the trend is for the larger MUDs at the top to garner 30+ votes in a very short period of time, then slow down. This has even managed to happen with some much smaller MUDs on the list, though I will again save all of this for a more in-depth analysis after I sober up tonight. <3
